REVIEW: The Orville – Season 2, Episode 8 “Identity, Part 1”

AlexGherzo | Feb 22, 2019 | 0

Halfway through a season that’s been heavy on character relationships and light on sci-fi action, The Orville ups the stakes considerably with “Identity, Part 1,” the phenomenal beginning of a two-parter that ranks with its very best episodes. Much like season 2, things begin on a quiet, chara...
